Compatible programming software
The UL variant of the standard 15.6-inch panel with capacitive glass touch: the Kinco F2156E2-PX(UL) carries the UL marking for the USA and Canada. Full HD behind hardened glass, multi-touch, two separate networks — technically identical to the F2156E2-PX.
🏭 Typical applications
New machines with a modern operating concept: pinch-to-zoom in trend charts, swiping between pages — operators know the gestures from their phone and need no training.
Network separation with gigabit: LAN0 at 10/100/1000 Mbit/s for the upper-level network, LAN1 at 10/100 for the machine network.
Control panel on a support arm: VESA 100 × 100 mm and 26 mm depth — the shallowest device in the series, with the metal housing carrying the load and providing shielding.
Replacing an older 15.6-inch panel: the 382 × 246 mm cut-out and VESA 100 × 100 mm match the F2156E and F2156E2 — a panel swap without sheet-metal work.
🖥️ Display and performance
1920 × 1080 pixels on 15.6 inches at 1000:1 contrast and 89° viewing angle stability in all four directions. On this area an overview screen, alarm list and trend chart can be shown at the same time without switching views. The quad-core at 1.8 GHz with 1 GB RAM keeps page changes and live values fluid.
Resolution: 1920 × 1080 pixels (Full HD, 16:9)
Brightness: 300 cd/m² | Contrast: 1000:1 | Viewing angle: 89° / 89° / 89° / 89°
Touch: capacitive multi-touch on hardened glass
CPU: Quad-Core ARM 1,8 GHz
Memory: 1 GB RAM + 8 GB eMMC flash
Real-time clock: built in, NTP-synchronisable
👆 Capacitive glass touch: benefits and caveats
Hardened glass front with capacitive multi-touch. Pinch-to-zoom, swiping and multi-point input make trend charts and navigation concepts as fluid as a smartphone.
⚠️ Please note: thick safety gloves or very wet fingers can impair detection. For glove-mandatory or wet environments, use the resistive sibling model: Kinco F2156E2 (resistiv, sonst identisch).
🔌 Interfaces and connectivity
Ethernet LAN0: 10/100/1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit), RJ45
Ethernet LAN1: 10/100 Mbit/s, RJ45 — second independent port for separated networks
COM0 (3-in-1): RS-232, RS-485 and RS-422 in one DB9 connector — one of them usable at a time
COM1: RS-485/RS-422
COM2: RS-232
USB: 1 × USB host (stick, keyboard, barcode scanner, webcam) + 1 × USB slave (program download)
🇺🇸 UL for export to the USA and Canada
This is the UL-marked order variant of the F2156E2-PX. Technically identical to the standard model — the difference is the marking your machine needs for the North American market.
UL file: E344264, holder Kinco Electric (Shenzhen) Ltd.
USA: UL category NRAQ — Programmable Controllers
Canada: UL category NRAQ7 — Programmable Controllers Certified for Canada
Standard: UL 61010-1 (manufacturer specification)
💡 For machines staying in Europe the F2156E2-PX is sufficient — same technology, lower price.
⚠️ When planning the installation, check which marking your customer or the accepting insurer actually requires. We are happy to send you the UL file as evidence in advance.
📦 Availability: orderable here in the shop like any other article. We keep the UL variants in stock — if one is temporarily unavailable, the delivery time extends accordingly.
💡 The 15.6-inch devices of the F2 series compared
F2156E2-PX: capacitive glass touch, 2 × Ethernet — the standard for new machines
F2156E2: same device but with resistive touch — for mandatory gloves and wet areas
F2156E: resistive, only 1 × Ethernet, 2 × COM — the price entry
F2156E2-PX MAX: like the F2156E2-PX but 64 GB flash and 2 GB RAM
F2156E-TX: as a control station with a dual-channel emergency stop, three metal buttons and a support arm
